Yankees Check In On Stanton

According to Nick Cafardo the Yankees have inquired about the availability of Giancarlo Stanton. This news is hardly a surprise due to the Marlins fire sale/trade with the Blue Jays about a week ago, and the Yankees were not the only team to check the waters regarding Stanton. The Phillies, Red Sox, Orioles, and Cubs have also called Miami regarding the 23 year old phenom.

Stanton has hit .270/.350/.533 with 93 homers in 373 MLB games, hit .290/.361/.608 with 37 bombs in 2012, and has played all but 1 of his MLB innings in right field, making him a great player to fill the hole left by Nick Swisher's departure. I'm not sure the Yankees have what the Marlins would want in return, but if a deal is possible the Yankees should do whatever they can to get it done.
